Ingredients
  

Chicken and Vegetables
  • 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs thighs preferred for juiciness
  • 1 lb baby potatoes or gold potatoes halved or quartered
  • 2 cups broccoli florets or 1 bunch asparagus
  • 1 red bell pepper roughly chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil to coat vegetables
  • salt and black pepper to taste
Garlic Butter Sauce
  • 1/2 cup unsalted or salted butter melted (1 stick)
  • 6-8 cloves fresh garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning or mix of dried oregano, basil, marjoram
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • lemon juice a squeeze, optional for brightness
  • fresh parsley chopped, for garnishing

Equipment

  • Rimmed baking sheet

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine potatoes, broccoli, and red bell pepper. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Spread on one side of the baking sheet.
  3. Pat chicken dry and slice thick breasts horizontally if needed. Place chicken on the other side of the sheet pan, spacing away from vegetables.
  4. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Stir in garlic, Italian seasoning, thyme, and paprika until fragrant.
  5. Drizzle half the garlic butter over chicken and brush the rest over vegetables.
  6. Roast in the oven for 15 minutes.
  7. Remove, flip chicken, and toss vegetables. Return to oven and roast for 10-15 minutes more, until chicken reaches 165°F internally and vegetables are golden.
  8. Garnish with lemon juice and fresh parsley. Serve hot.

  • Honey Garlic: Stir in 2 tbsp honey into the butter mixture for sweetness.
  • Spicy Kick: Mix in red pepper flakes for extra heat.
  • Keto/Low-Carb: Swap potatoes for cauliflower or radishes.
  • Slow Cooker Option: Combine ingredients with 1/4 cup broth, cook low 4 hrs. Thicken sauce before serving.
